Default met with gt1 owner

i was invited to a local porsche club meet/drive in my area on sunday so I cleaned off the car and off I went. To my surprise, i see the unfooking unbelievable grandad pull up.











He approached me and complimented me on the GT3 and I told him his car wasn't too shabby either. We had a good time and he wanted us to drive together on the planned route. To say the least, the GT1 is sonorous at idle and orgasmic when at wide open throttle. The route also winded its way through several small towns full of people waiting for the 30+ cars. This was the first time following a car where nobody really paid attention to the white/red monster I'm driving. Of course i was just drooling as well at that gorgeous **** on the GT1.



we had a great chat at the coffee shop and I tried to convince him to take it to the track. Being one of 27 in the world he wasn't so hot for that idea, but he wouldn't mind taking his CGT since those are a dime-a-dozen

he invited me to look at his other toys in his hangar and i will definitely take him up on it since he is practically a neighbor. really cool cat.

pics of granddad and grandson together.

I'm sorry but the GT1 is no 911 - it's a mid-engine car with a body resembling a 911. Great car but no 911.

Here we go again:

You lucky $%#$^$%d!

If I could choose one car from all this would probably be the one.

Thanks for the photos downloaded and saved already!

My favorite Porsche and I think the most beautiful one. Of course the 962, 956, and 917 are a close second.

Is that an F40 in the background in the first pic?

GT1 + F40 = double schwing!

Thanks so much for sharing.
